While I agree MP needs to be of use, if the end goal is to prevent popping all 5 stacks right away we can simply add uncleansable Grievous wounds debuff if 3 or more stacks have been activated without the Aura of The of Life if Hp cost and reduction is not enough.
Grievous Wounds: Healing and Shielding received is reduced by 80%

This will kill you in current savage and extreme content unless you spam heal yourself to full HP. Note that I don't mind MP being the resource to be managed but I do not understand how risking not having MP for rezzes is relevant outside of prog.

Also, Benediction can be made GCD Button with a 5-second recast time. This is a minor detail. And the cleansing can be removed as well.

That Thread started out with me wanting a change in benediction and I ended up writing some DPS kit.
